The Turkish military issued the following statement, "Turkish armed forces, in order to reestablish constitutional order, democracy, rights and freedoms, rule of law, safety and security of the Turkish nation and the state, has taken over all government responsibilities of the Republic of Turkey." If the Turkish military carries out a successful coup and keeps true to its word, it should schedule an election sometime this year.
